to the Imperial institute that the site
of about five acres recently secured for
the new admiralty and war offices is
valued at 9520,0O0. or rather over

Charles street, opposite the Ind a
Office, is less than an acre, and would
cost at least ELS, 600; probably an

Vicar General Ravoux Honored.

Rev. A. Ravoux, vicar general Of the
diocese OF st. Paul, and living in Sd. Paul,
Mimi, has been appointed to the churchly
position of monsignor or domestic prelate,
a position of much prominence in the
Catholic church. By it the bearer has
many privileges, especially in Rome, where
his position ia almost equal to that o.
a bishop. Out of Rome his position is i'm
mediately after that OF his bishop. This
honor was procured through the instru
mentality of Bishop Ireland.

don the idea of great dinner under
the auspices of the Royal Geographical
society was suggested and rapidly took
shape. Everything was arranged for
the affair, when dispatch arrived that
Stanley could not be in London for
three days. What was to be done?
We determined to have the dinner
anyway. Fiske came to me in hot
haste. Did I know anything about
Stanley's books? Yes l had read every
line of them. Had read his recent
newspaper letter? L had. Then"
said Fiske, you must be Stanley for this
performance only Fiske was to rep
resent the president. of the Geographic

another glacial age. If it is true that
such n period is to come again at any
time in the near future, the Professor
is certainly justified in declaring that
that fact will be Exceedingly interest
